The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 276: Already Planned
In March, apricot blossoms are in full bloom in the Forbidden City.

In a corner of the Imperial Garden, Zhou Ninghai built a swing according to Zhen Changzai's instructions.

Zhou Ninghai was afraid that the ropes on both sides of the swing would wear out Chang Zai's delicate hands, so he carefully wrapped them with colorful brocade strips.

Concubine Shen was busy learning how to read account books from Nian Shilan, and was not in Xianfu Palace most of the time.

Concubine Jing took Princess Kangle to have fun, leaving Concubine Zhen with nothing to do in Xianfu Palace.

All he did all day was pay his respects to Lady Ulanara and go back to his room to read.

It was a fine day, and Zhen Changzai took Zhou Ninghai and Liu Zhu to pay their respects to Ulanara. After the meeting, they went to the Imperial Garden.

Nian Shilan knew that Yinzhen liked to visit the Imperial Garden recently. As the spring weather was getting warmer, the flowers in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom.

In the previous life, didn’t Yinzhen and the current Concubine Zhen fall in love in the imperial garden?

Xiao Linzi came running from a distance and said hurriedly.

"Please return to the palace immediately! The Fourth Prince has vomited milk for some reason.

"I have already sent someone to invite the imperial physician, and the wet nurse is currently looking after the Fourth Prince!"

Lady Shen, who was following behind Nian Shilan, looked at her worriedly, fearing that she would fall again in her haste.

Nian Shilan was not in a hurry and just said, "I know."

He turned and said to Concubine Shen.

"I have something going on in the palace today, so you should go back first. If there is anything else, I will send someone to inform you."

Lady Shen replied "yes", but hesitated as if she had something to say.

Year of the Landau.

"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Concubine Shen bit her lip and said.

"I just heard from Eunuch Lin that the Fourth Prince has a problem of spitting up milk.

Although this concubine has never given birth, she saw that her nephew also had this symptom when he was at her mother's home.

I know this is a common symptom in children, so I hope you won’t worry.

Let Doctor Wen take a good look at it first.

If your Majesty needs me to do anything, I will obey you."

Nian Shilan was stunned for a moment. In his previous life, he had also regarded Shen Meizhuang as a thorn in his side and was eager to get rid of her.

At that time, no one in the harem could share her favor.

In this life, I didn't expect that I had other purposes in mind, so I asked Shen Meizhuang to be by my side, but I accidentally gained a little love from her, and I don't know if it can be considered sincerity.

Nian Shilan smiled and said with a hint of alienation.

"Thank you for your concern, Lady Shen. I will return to the palace first."

Lady Shen watched Nian Shilan leave, thinking that she hadn't spoken to Huan'er for several days.

I happen to have nothing to do today, so I might as well go find Huan'er.

Concubine Shen said to the palace maid beside her.

"I've been busy following Concubine Hua for so long that I don't know what to do now that I have some free time.

Just now I saw Huan'er heading towards the Imperial Garden. There was nothing to do.
Let's go stroll in the Imperial Garden, maybe we can run into Huan'er."

Caiyue snickered.

"My lady spends the whole day following Concubine Hua and thinking about Miss Zhen.

I heard that the flowers in the imperial garden are in full bloom, and it's a good opportunity for you to go there and relax."

Zhen Changzai was led by Zhou Ninghai to a corner of the imperial garden, where the swing carefully made by Zhou Ninghai looked very beautiful under the morning sun, with its colorful brocade.

The swing was right under a few apricot trees that were in full bloom. A scent of flowers wafted past, and Zhen Changzai couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath.

"It smells so good! I'm almost getting moldy after staying in my room all day."

Liu Zhu wiped the swing with the silk handkerchief in her hand, helped Zhen Changzai sit on it carefully, then walked around behind Zhen Changzai with a smile and said.

"My lady, are you sitting tight? I am going to start pushing the swing!"

Zhen Changzai has been a brave person since childhood, and she also said with a smile, "Just push! I'd be surprised if I'm scared!"

Zhou Ninghai stood beside him, frowning and looking bitter.

"My lord, please be careful! I am so scared!"

Zhen Changzai just smiled and ignored her, letting Liu Zhu push her higher and higher.

Concubine Shen entered the imperial garden and did not see Concubine Zhen.

The way to gather stars.

"Has Concubine Zhen returned to the palace? My lady, since you are here, why not take a look around first?"

Lady Shen was in a good mood as she looked at the colorful flowers and willows in the garden, and her tone was softer than usual.

"Yes, now that we are here, let's go shopping before going back. Huan'er and I will have lunch together."

Concubine Shen and her two servants strolled around the garden, talking, and walked all the way to the Imperial Garden.

From a distance, Concubine Shen heard a burst of laughter, so she stopped and listened carefully, only to find that it was Concubine Zhen.

Lady Shen said to her maid happily.

"Listen, it's Huan'er laughing. She's laughing so happily, I don't know what good news it is.

Let's go quietly and scare Huan'er."

Caiyue and Caixing looked at each other and smiled. Their young lady was still the same as before, with a hint of mischief in her.

As Concubine Shen got closer to that corner, Concubine Zhen's laughter became clearer.

Just listen to what Zhen Changzai said.

"Come on, Liu Zhu, it's my turn to push you!"

Liu Zhu seemed to be trying hard to refuse.

"My lady, please forgive me! I know I was wrong! I pushed too hard just now!"

When Concubine Shen heard the laughter and joking between Zhen Changzai and his servant, she also smiled knowingly.

She was just about to sneak forward and scare Zhen Chang when she heard a loud shout.

"The Emperor has arrived~!"

Concubine Shen hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yinzhen standing not far away looking at her.

Concubine Shen did not hesitate and walked over quickly. Concubine Zhen was still playing with Liu Zhu.

Hearing the loud shout, she seemed to have already made a plan in mind. She stopped what she was doing, straightened her clothes, and then walked out slowly towards Yinzhen.

Zhen Changzai heard that these days the emperor liked to stroll around the Imperial Garden after leaving court, and then return to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials.

So he asked Zhou Ninghai to set up the swing.

She didn't dress up specially today, just like usual, except that she had two pearl flowers in her hair.

Concubine Shen had already greeted Yinzhen and was standing aside, when she saw Concubine Zhen walk out from the corner and come towards them gracefully.

Concubine Shen looked at Zhen Changzai with satisfaction as she finally appeared in front of Yinzhen, and saw her greet Yinzhen politely.

Yinzhen looked at the person in front of him. Seeing that she was beautiful and had a smile in her eyes, his frown relaxed a little.

"I just passed by here and heard someone laughing, but I don't know who it was.

Now I know it was you."

Zhen Changzai replied.

“Reporting to the Emperor, I see that it is still early spring, with willows beginning to bud and apricots beginning to bloom.

I don’t want to waste such a beautiful scenery.

I didn't know your Majesty was here, and I almost lost my manners. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Yinzhen said.

"You have read a lot of books, but this poem by Cheng Gai is very appropriate to use here."

Zhen Chang is on the road.

"I was inspired by this and did not mean to show off. Your Majesty, please forgive me for making fun of you."
